Visuals

Fade into a grayscale overhead shot of the Trogdor!! manual, with a piece of lined paper reading "Rulebook EP" attached to the bottom. After a few seconds, Strong Bad's hand opens the manual, revealing the countryside tiles moving to the beat like an equalizer.

This is the quick—

Fade to Strong Bad at a table moving his head to the beat, with muted colors and a distorted effect. The Boardelectrix logo is in the corner, and below it, "HOMESCAMtv".

You gotta inundate these domiciles with burnination

Cut to the board. Trogdor burninates each surrounding tile of a cottage, then burninates the cottage.

That sounds easy...

One Strong Bad head appears in each corner. Many more keep appearing diagonally until the screen is filled.

Cut to a panning overhead shot of the board.

It's like the view from above!

Cut to the countryside moving like an equalizer.

Where you can see everything in...

Cut to Strong Bad in the peasant robe.

Camera zooms out to reveal the manual. Strong Bad's hand closes it.

{Cut to the computer room. Strong Mad and The Cheat are sitting at his new computer, this time facing the camera. On the rear wall is a sign reading Some Loafing Implied.}

"Homestar Runner LIVE in Atlanta! 20th Anniversary Show!"

The Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show was an event at Venkman's, a dining venue in Atlanta. The first show was on Friday, September 2, 2016, at 10:00 PM ET, the weekend of Dragon Con. It was first announced on @StrongBadActual on July 31 and later mentioned on homestarrunner.com in a main page message. It was a live show celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Original Book from 1996 and the introduction of the Homestar Runner body of work. Due to the large demand of tickets for the original date, the second show was announced at the later date of Friday, October 7 with the same content and showings. It was first announced on @StrongBadActual on August 22. Tickets were priced at $12-$25 USD.

Both shows featured The Brothers Chaps and Missy Palmer performing live music while being backed by Yacht Rock Revue. Some of the music performances included video content, and puppets were featured as well. Some people dressed up as characters from the Homestar Runner body of work.

During the first show, at some point during the performances, the video AV stopped working, so Matt Chapman started singing bread sing-alongs with Puppet Homestar Runner, who said that the songs had the power to fix AV problems. This eventually became a running gag. After an intermission, Limozeen played, and flicked Limozeen guitar picks into the audience. The picks were previously shown in a @StrongBadActual Tweet. Towards the end, Matt invited Jamey Huggins, the person who thought of the name "Homestar Runner", to the stage to tell that story. Before performing the final song, Secret Song, Matt said that normally they'd have to wait 227 seconds before hearing it, like on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits. At the end of the show, Matt said "Here's to twenty more years of making stupid stuff!", which was responded with a loud cheer from the audience.

For April Fool's day this year, I wish Bubs would feed all my sbemails into his discount neural network and see what kinda insane, eyeball-covered gold it would spit out.

This Tweet was followed by offers from numerous Twitter users to perform this experiment with actual neural networks. Janelle Shane, the owner of artificial intelligence blog AI Weirdness, extracted the text of every Strong Bad Email from the Homestar Runner Wiki and fed them into her neural network to produce over sixty original emails to Strong Bad, ranging from fairly coherent to unsettlingly bizarre. Strong Bad linked to Shane's "Discount Strong Bad emails" blog post on April 1st. On the 3rd, he shared audio of himself reading and briefly responding to one of the emails, and hinted that it could be made into something like a podcast.

Some of these emails are from familiar faces such as Dan, FL from anything and Clancy from long pants, while other senders, like Neal Haraldsson from Hamburg, are completely invented. The emails display a range of grammatical correctness that reflects that of the real email show, and make occasional oblique references to other parts of Homestar Runner, like the mention of a "pom-pom-pom" and a sender named "trudy marzipan". Additional emails, inquiring about such topics as building a horse and having swamp rats in one's bed, can be viewed by subscribing to email updates from AI Weirdness.
